Anne Bancroft....tho' not Shepperton,noticed recently Elstree's GO TO BLAZES sets were used a year later for THE YOUNG ONES..

The sets for "OLIVER!" were constructed specially for the film.
A small section of the set appeared soon after in "THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE" (1969)
The set stood for quite a long time and productions such as "THE CREEPING FLESH" took full advantage of it.
Can't think of any others at the present......"SCROOGE"?

Shepperton backlot

i have read that Shepperton's East End London street sets seen in Oliver! appear in a number of other movies. Two questions: were these sets purpose built for Carol Reed or were they already standing? And, what other movies made use of them?
